West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is co-leading an amicus brief supporting Texas’ bid for a preliminary injunction of the Biden administration’s so-called Parole-in-Place Policy for undocumented immigrants.
Morrisey and the coalition say the policy would allow more than a million illegal immigrants married to U.S. citizens to live in the country as temporary legal residents protected from deportation until they can apply for permanent residency. Those individuals otherwise would be required to leave the country before seeking permanent status. The policy also applies to noncitizen stepchildren of U.S. citizens.
